Check out Coquin de Chien on Vermont's Fentanyl apocalypse, using the same data:

Great job!!! Contexting of each cause or group of causes was enlightening. I wasn't so nice in my assessment of fentanyl deaths in these death certificates. People can find their way to the article I just released. More to come regarding Vermont. You're doing God's work getting this data and analyzing it.

Great job by you and John. Question: are the death certifs deidentified? If so, do you have age, gender, race? It is textual cause of death only, or are they coded with ICD codes?

I really want the same from Texas (population ~30MM). I would love any copies of FOIAs or tips to obtain. Thanks!!

They are not de-identified, but they didn't come with ICD's unfortunately, so we are trying to work around that, we might be able to assign them manually but I don't know.

Did you FOIA Texas? I'd love a copy!

the green bars are only total through I think 10/25 for 2022 but full year for all other years

blue bar graph is evenly matched for all years first 8 months

Beaudoin did the actual work here btw :)))

Important illuminating article. Thank you.

Is it possible to tease out December 2020 from the other 11 months? It would be great to put the vax rollout to the elderly in sharper relief.

Not from Vermont by itself, or even VT + MA, you would need a much larger amount of ppl to see initial vaccine mortality when the takeup is so low.

If we had the immunization records to match with DC's, that would be a whole different story though......

Fascinating...but if up to 40% of DC's are inaccurate, this makes the data highly suspect. Maybe this is common practice in the medical establishment where a 40% error rate is acceptable. I don't care how the numbers are spun, I believe mRNA injections are killing people and those murders are being sufficiently hidden. Meaning that deaths are being under-reported in order to keep the mRNA injection narrative going full steam ahead.

Not all inaccuracies are created equal - doctors are far more likely to confuse different subtypes of a cardiac condition than to confuse a cardiac condition with renal failure. Also, the nature of their errors should be consistent, so you can still get useful info from trends.

Great job, I've loved John's work in Massachusetts and the different types of graphs he's been using. Thanks for taking up the cause in Vermont. 👍🏽💪🏽

For carditis there does seem to be an increase in 20,21,22 in the 25 to 44 year olds which is what you might expect given it affect younger males most..

Your work is SO important! I don't know why this isn't being talked about more in mainstream media... I was stunned by what I saw in 2020, 2021 and 2022, so I wrote a nearly 300 page book wherein I talk about excess deaths, injuries, propaganda and much more. Thank YOU for your work. Sharing on Twitter! Keep it up! I think when we reach the 100th monkey our world can start on a better path. https://unvaccinatedourturntotalk.com/

Your work here is quite important but I must mention that you only allude to what MIGHT be a major cause of the upswing in diabetes at least. During the lockdowns, no one was attending school, getting regular check-ups or having their regular visits to their doctor. Of course then, once the lockdowns were lifted, you have a general return to ordinary interactivity with the medical community. There would be, naturally, a lag in reporting in which diabetes would "catch up" to the present since many of the regular diagnoses were missed during the lockdowns. Cardiac arrests, especially in "captured populations" such as retirement centers and rehab facilities, would of course continue to be reported during this time. And yes, as I have personally witnessed, many deaths are attributed to cardiac arrest for several reasons. It is indeed kind of a catch-all for death certificates. Thank you again.
